Hello Everyone

Life is great. I have hit the 20 kilo(44 lbs.) mark of weight lost in the mission so far and it is so nice! This last week we have been walking a lot to different corners of our area to meet with references and other investigators. I have been sweating like crazy and drinking a whole bunch of water.

Some interesting news is that I apparently talk in my sleep! I have had different people in my life tell me this every once in a while but my companion says I do it almost every day now lol. The funny part is that apparently I have been talking in Portuguese for the last few weeks and it freaks my companion out haha. The weirdest part to him is that when I talk in my sleep I use phrases and words that I haven't learned yet and he says I talk very clearly and without an accent haha. He says he initially thinks its someone else in the house and then realizes its me and goes back to sleep.
Today in my personal study I decided to just read in the Book of Mormon because it is P-day and I was reading in Alma 32 when Alma is preaching to the poor because they were humbled by their lot in life. It is important to stay humble and to be meek and lowly in heart! Pray often with faith and remember that we are all here for the same purpose!

with love and support

Hello everyone

This last week was really good and I have learned a lot. We are having a "mission tour" with Elder W. Mark Bassett and I am super excited! I have been studying attributes of Christ and how I can implement them into my life to be a better representative of him in my life and it has been going really well I have been able to notice more Chirstlike love in my life.

The house I have been in hasn't always had the cleanest of people living in it and I have gone crazy cleaning mode on it the last few weeks every P-day. I have officially gotten it to a certain low standard of clean lol. 

I love the food here in Brasil and I talked about the Pizza last week but this week I want to talk about Pastels! Pastels are like a giant deep fried hot pocket and they are so good. I normally get them with ham and cheese.

I wish everyone the best for this week

with love,

Hello everyone!!

I am still alive! I apologize for not writing these past few weeks life has been crazy and I haven´t had a lot of time with a computer on pdays. Life has been hard and rewarding. I had my first baptism and his name was Lucas! He is super cool and he is really strong in the gospel now which is really important to me. We have been working with all sorts of different people and I have been trying my best not to melt in the sun. It has been cool seeing and experiencing different culture here in Brasil.

I have lost more than 15 kilos so far here in Brasil and I am excited to lose more.

All of the missionaries since I got here have spoken of the pizza here with a chocolate stuffed crust with awe. I decided to save and be a little extra thrifty with my money last week so I could buy one, and oh man is it good. 

I have been studying the Book Of Mormon sooo much and it has been such a blessing in my life. There is an article by a general authority at the end of the Liahona from July 2018 and I cant remember who wrote it right now but it talks about the blessings we can recieve from studying the Book Of Mormon in our lives. I know that because I have been studying it I have been able to help people follow and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

My Portuguese is getting better every day and every once and a while I will have someone say I have a strange accent and ask me what state I am from because they think I am Brazilian somehow haha. I usually joke around and say Manaus(which is in the amazon rain forest)

This transfer I will still be in the same area as this last transfer. Vila Dirce Carapicuiba

I wish you all the best for this week,
